It would represent a career low for Smith, whose receiving totals in four years with Baltimore were 841, 855, 1,128, and 767. Keep in mind beat writers don't always have a great handle on the numbers side of things, but we still found this noteworthy. Torrey's current re-draft ADP is late in the eighth round.

Smith had the second-most drops (11) among receivers despite ranking 50th in targets (89). He was only outdone by Mohamed Sanu, who dropped 14 passes on 97 targets. We like Smith's new landing spot for the 49ers' offense, but Colin Kaepernick's shoddy accuracy isn't going to benefit Smith. Anquan Boldin should remain the go-to target in the middle of the field, on third downs, and in the red zone. Smith may be more of a decoy lid-lifter just to open up the field. Apr 16 - 10:33 AM

49ers signed WR Torrey Smith, formerly of the Ravens, to a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $22 million guaranteed.

This deal has been in place for a couple days. Smith gives Colin Kaepernick what he's desperately been missing outside: a speed threat who can run by a defensive back and score a long touchdown. In San Francisco, Smith will reunite with his mentor Anquan Boldin and stretch the field for he and Vernon Davis. Kaepernick's big arm and Smith's blazing speed should complement each other.

ESPN's Jim Trotter reports the 49ers are "feeling good" about their chances of signing free agent Torrey Smith, but that they're "holding their breath" until Tuesday.

The Baltimore Sun has reported that Smith-to-San Fran is a "done deal," but it doesn't appear this one is quite as done as Frank Gore, Ndamukong Suh, etc. Smith would be a rare talent addition for a club that's been bleeding it all offseason. Mar 9 - 12:37 PM

Smelter has been widely presumed a "redshirt" pick by the 49ers, but the team must feel good about his recovery. He underwent ACL surgery in December. Smelter is 6-foot-2 and 226 pounds, and averaged 18.9 YPR with 11 TDs on 56 career catches at Georgia Tech. While a rookie-season impact is unlikely for Smelter, the 23-year-old could emerge as Anquan Boldin's heir apparent.
